Message: [QUOTE="Black AOD, post: 1534192, member: 16536"] OP, I'll be as bluntly honest as I can here. I guess I don't understand why even bother with an under powered gas motor that gets poor fuel mileage in a truck that weighs 8k + The torque alone should sell you on a 6.7 for how easily it pushes the truck along and how well it allows the truck to truly do what it is designed to do, haul heavy sh*t. My 2017 F350 6.7 PSD was stock emissions for the first 36k miles then it lost weight and is now almost at 50k mileage (I've only owned the truck for 19 months so far) and it hasn't skipped a beat on anything besides my 6R doing some funny things but it's still running strong as ever. Oil change with LE 8854 every 10k, fuel filters every 10k, changed tranny fluid to LE fluid at 40k. The truck has been to deep south Florida twice, central Colorado once, all around Ohio pretty much every week, and every surrounding state to me. It has also hauled trailer loads anywhere between 10,000-30,000 lbs probably 30-40 times in the past year and half. And had numerous 5,000 lb loads put into the bed. I don't have one mechanical issue complaint with these trucks at all as long as maintenance is kept up on it. The only thing I could say needs improved upon from the factory is transmission cooling and luckily for us aftermarket guys Dennis @ Strictly Diesel seems to have figured that out with his added trans cooler than mounts behind the grille. I just drove 250 miles yesterday between 60-65 mph to lake erie and back and averaged between 18.5-19 mpg on my trip. I'd be lucky if the 6.2 gasser got 12 I bet. [/QUOTE]
